This week, businesses across the world are celebrating co-op week.

Co-ops are founded on seven principles, and the fifth emphasizes education, training and information. Cooperatives provide education and training for their members so they can effectively develop the organization.

We’ve worked with co-ops in the manufacturing, construction, trade and other industries for the past 10 years—including BLUE HAWK, a purchasing cooperatives of 233 HVACR distributors in 49 states, IMARK Group, a member-owned marketing group comprised of more than 1,100 electrical distributors nationwide and IDC-USA, a cooperative representing over 260 independent distributors of bearing, power transmission, hose, rubber and hydraulics products.

We recently wrapped up our one-millionth online course enrollment celebration by tweeting elearning tips each day throughout the month of September. We had fun sharing some of our favorite elearning tips and hearing new ideas from other members of the elearning community.
